I thought shingles was a response to the chicken pox virus later in life, not to measles, mumps or rubella?
So you are right, thanks for the correction. Measles and Rubeola are separate from Chicken pox, mumps and shingles.
Shingles results from a reactivation of the virus long after the chickenpox illness has disappeared.
It can also be varicella from what I understand that can also reactivate the virus causing shingles.
And in my country we only give the MMR, not the MMRV.
MMRV should supersede MMR as Varicella has also been known to cause shingles.
- "Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes varicella (chickenpox)."
Don’t even recall it being recommended when we were getting my little one vaccinated.
It won't be if they are very young, it is up to the parent to be informed about the health of their children, not the state. There is a very real "opportunity" for the child to come in contact with the virus when young which is preferable.
But anti-vaxxers are complete fools and should not be lumped in with people who are Covid-19 vaccine-hesitant.

This I agree with entirely. It just seems such an absolutist position to take to lump them all together. The MMR and polio vaccines are brilliant, I’ve never known anyone who has gotten any of those doses but when I was a child there was a guy on TV called Jeremy Beadle who had visible polio injuries, and that wasn’t rare in men of his age. Just illustrated to me how completely we had eradicated those diseases in our societies thanks to vaccinations. But that doesn’t automatically mean every vaccination will be as good because they are similar types of medicine. Like I think paracetamol is a god send as a painkiller, it doesn’t immediately follow that I want to get myself strung out on opiates just because they are also painkillers.
This I agree with entirely.
Give it a week and the Qtards will be beating the anti-vax, 5G mind control, I've seen sasquatch nonsense again.
The MMR and polio vaccines are brilliant
Yes, the study of virology and epidemiology has single-handedly reduced infant mortality.
But that doesn’t automatically mean every vaccination will be as good because they are similar types of medicine.
Most are not similar.
- Live-attenuated vaccines (MMRV, smallpox, yellow fever)
- Inactivated vaccines (Hep A, Polio, rabies)
- Subunit, recombinant, polysaccharide, and conjugate vaccines (Hep B, Whooping cough (part of the DTaP), Meningococcal disease)
- Toxoid vaccines (Diphtheria, Tetanus)
Now really who can say now that they don't want a health strategy for some of those very nasty viruses? Quene in some wandering dropkick that says "viruses are fake and gay".
Like I think paracetamol is a god send as a painkiller
Paracetamol is a mild analgesic and classed as an NSAID when mixed with iBuprofen. It should however be regulated and not be available for purchase outside of stringent pharmaceutical regulation IMO.
If you have a headache just rest, put ice on your head, drink cold water and have a nap.
that I want to get myself strung out on opiates just because they are also painkillers.
Better to be recumbent than addicted to pain killers. Drugs like Diclofenac for example can give you heart-attacks, not really worth temporary relief of muscular pain.
